   About The Blizzard Of 78
The Blizzard of 78 were formed in 2002 from members of the Boston, MA/Providence, RI group Delta Clutch. Lead singer Pip,(Coat of Arms, Plan 9) Bassist/Guitarist Chris Cugini,(Anastasia Screamed) Guitarist/Bassist Nate Leavitt and Drummer Paul Myers have remained intact as the original members. The group added keyboardist Brian Syrge in 2003 after the departure of Phil Aiken(Buffalo Tom). The group released their first full length CD as the Blizzard of 78 in June of '06. Entitled "Where All Life Hangs" it's a trip through the melancholic style the band embraced this time around. Featuring 2 songs from the 2004 EP which was produced by Paul Kolderie (Radiohead, The Dresden Dolls).

Live, the band is well known for their emotionally driven sets. Creating their own style called supercharged soul. Lead singer Pip, summons the likeness of James Brown or Van Morrison. The rest of the bands impressive musicianship demands your attention with presence and chemistry not unlike The Who or The Stones. This dynamic combination has landed them opening slots for Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Guster, The Long Winters and Throwing Muses to name a few. It has also kept them busy playing around New England and New York.

What the critics have said about the award winning 2006 CD "Where All Life Hangs"

"a dozen emotionally resonant tunes, delicately and tastefully assembled a la Coldplay or Damien Rice, with flourishes of Badfinger."
Bob Gulla,
The Phoenix
"...prominent piano (from former Delta Clutcher Phil Aiken), strings and cooing background vocals (from Tanya Donelly, among others) work in service of solid, memorable pop-rock songs."
Rick Massimo,The Providence Journal

"....Where All Life Hangs is good pop trembling on the edge of greatness." Brian Baker
Amplifier Magazine

"crystalline production, well-constructed songs that stick to the roof of your mind for days, tasteful musicianship, lyrics that dont suck."
Tim Emswiler
The Noise, September

"it's one of the best discs of the year."
Shady
The Noise, October

"Where All Life Hangs is a real-deal record with atmosphere, scene and outstanding performance on all fronts"
C.D. Di Guardia
The Northeast Performer

"The Blizzard of 78 bring together a variety of sounds and textures making it so that this record has something for everyone."
Exitfare

"L'..clectisme qui le sous-tend fait que l'auditeur y revient par curiosit..."
Christophe Marden
Les Chroniques de Calhoun Mooney

"The Blizzard of 78's Big Star-Badfinger influenced rock n' roll sounds top notch on Where All Life Hangs."

Posted a new song - Emperess' Clothes - a rough mix from the album being finished up. In addition to The Phil Aiken Army, this song features John Powhida on "stunt vocals". Also, The Phil Aiken Army is playing Thursday 3/20 at The Lizard Lounge in Cambridge. Nate from the Blizzard will be on guitar. If that is not reason enough to come, i don't know what is...
